I am an Assistant Professor (from 2026) at Yanshan University, and CTO (from 2015) of Beijing Jisuanke Co., Ltd. I obtained Ph.D. (2026) from Yanshan University under the supervision of Prof. Shunfu Jin and Prof. Haoye Tian. Before that, I obtained bachelor (2013) and master (2018) degree from Beihang University during industry working, under the supervision of Prof. Zhoujun Li. I am a Senior Member of IEEE and CCF, and an external supervisor at Wuhan University. I represented Beihang University in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals and achieved 27th place. I have published 7 papers in top-tier venues (ICSE, TOSEM, ISSTA), 4 of which I am the first author. I have served as a Program Committee member for FSE’26 IVR, FSE’27 Industry, ICPC’27 Research, ICSME’26 Industry, ICST’26, MSR’26, and AIware’26, and served as a reviewer for the journal EMSE, ASEJ, TOSEM, TSE and TAAS.
